Why? As a professional security researcher, what makes you believe this is unlikely? I'm not saying I disagree with you, but it seems like you have additional context for an a priori belief that this isn't what happened.

The FBI's level of security sophistication appears to end (normally) at EnCase.

I suspect that there's worlds of difference between, say, the arm of the FBI that chases drug dealers and the arm that chases Russian spies. It's a pretty broad church.
